[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 175418, member: 4785"] [b]338 Edge[/b] Hi I would build a 338 Edge because you can neck up any ultramag case performance and barrel life are awsome. If you are building on a Savage you should use an action with the larger tennon with any case that has a diameter of .550 or larger. I'm not sure the large tennon diameter but I am sure Kirby could help you. You may be able to have the action bored out and single point cut to 1.062" 16tpi the same as a remington I would also fit the barrel like a Remington without the barrel nut using a barrel with a 1.250" knox. If you are looking at staying with the small thread have a look at a 300 H&H improved or 300STW or for better barrel life a 338STW that would be an awsome rifle for you to shoot. I would also have a good break fitted and wear hearing protection a large magnum WILL damage your hearing ask any of us who have been shooting all our lives I wish electronic ear muffs were available when I was growing up because my hearing has been damaged.
